Hi My Forwik, The combination above, of "huge road trip", "all zoom levels" and "scraping tiles"is a potential problem as that can affect the resources available for other OpenStreetMap contributors. Please don't scrape large areas of tiles in high zooms.[1] If you don't have to have a browser, consider Maperitive, or Gosmore as recommended in this thread, or have a look at some other software choices and see what appeals to you.[2] [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
